Our research focuses on making better conservation and land use decisions to preserve biodiversity. We collaborate with national and international research partners to develop methods for halting the ongoing biodiversity loss. C-BIG works closely with the Finnish environmental agencies to ensure that real-world conservation decisions are based on the best available scientific knowledge. Read more on our webisite.
